David Hagerty

The second book in David Hagerty’s series of murder mysteries, They Tell Me You Are Crooked, will be released on Sept. 26 by Evolved Publishing. It follows Gov. Duncan Cochrane as he attempts to catch a sniper in Chicago’s most notorious housing project while maintaining the secret of his daughter’s killing.

David owes much of his success and persistence as a writer to Louis B. Jones, who taught him what it takes to make it in this trade.
